When eerie rules descend upon the world, humanity is forced into one deadly game after another.
Everyone struggles in fear, trying to remember every rule they “must obey” or are “forbidden to break.”
Only Wu Tao, a former professor of logic whose emotions were numbed by an accident, calmly adjusts his glasses.
Looking at the blood-red writing on the wall, he discovers a truth everyone else has overlooked:
“If the rules themselves contain a logical flaw, then breaking them is the most efficient way to obey.”
When others die horribly in class for answering a paradox incorrectly, he stands up and asks the teacher, “Does your question itself violate the third rule of the teaching syllabus?”
When the midnight knocks in the dorm clash with the rule that says “you must keep your eyes closed,” he calculates the millisecond-long window of safety between opening and closing his eyes.
When the entire sanatorium uses happiness to hypnotize everyone, he implants a virus command that sends the director’s logic spiraling into collapse.
He wields the [Correction Pen] to rewrite the rules;
He opens the [Chapter of Order] to deduce the logical chains governing all things;
He uses the [Causality Lens] to see the truth behind every rule.
From an interpreter of the rules, he gradually becomes a creator of loopholes. At last, standing before the System AI that calls itself the Creator, he calmly asks the ultimate question:
“If my very existence is the greatest logical loophole in your system of rules, what will you do with me?”
Welcome to the world of rules.
Here, common sense is poison, fear is a trap, and logic is the only weapon that can tear apart every bizarre tale.
